SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & PHILANTHROPY

We envision a world where doing good and being part of the greater consciousness is part of good business. From the infinitely talented people who create our services to the impact we have on the planet, we are reimagining the creative business for the better at The Matthews Group. We recommend the following list of wonderful organizations that would appreciate your support.

WE GIVE 1% OF OUR TOTAL SALES TO SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

THE EARTH IS WHAT WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON

The Matthews Group encourages volunteerism and support of organizations of diverse causes as part of our culture. The list is ever-changing, as are we.
When we originated the concept ‘Philanthropy and Conservation Through Creativity and Adventure’ we didn’t realize it would resonate so widely.
Today, it is the backbone of our charitable DNA , and has become so with others. We encourage you to join us on our entrepreneurial adventure.
